Lo, here is the matter plainly opened by our saviour Christ what kind of since shall be forgiven, and what never forgiven. Blasphemy against the spirit shall never be forgiven: all other sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven. And Christ in saying: All sin shall be forgiven, compriseth both original sin,1 and also actual sin. Moreover Christ speaketh here of three sorts of since. The first he calleth sin, the second blasphemy, & the third, blasphemy against the spirit. Which the scripture also calleth: the sin unto death, and the sin against the holy ghost. These three kinds of since, & the difference of every of them I intend by God's help severally to declare unto you so shortly as I can, & so for this time commit you unto god. And first ⟨p. 101⟩consider well what sin is.
